It was the best tool sale I've been to in a while.

Today’s estate sale buys.  Lots of NOS or almost NOS tools and some nice rust.  Price per piece was around $2.50.  17 pounds.   So many great items Craftsman, Stanley, Thorsen, Barcalo, diamond, Crescent, Penncraft, Mossberg, HD Smith and others.

Wow. Nice bunch of tools, but my eyes are zooming in on that Loggerhead. I haven't seen one of those for years!

<sigh> There's just something about a mechanically complex / borderline unusable multitool that just warms my heart. :angel:

Kennedy makes (made?) a good toolbox. I bought three of them new, several decades ago. Other than a thick layer of shop dust they are all in pretty good shape. :)

The  box was open with no tray, I found the tray on the floor pushed under a shelf.  I popped the tray in the box and walked over to the price guy. He looked inside and said $7.   :D.   The rest of the nicer tools and hardware cost me another $8.

You know,,, by the title I always thought this thread was referring to items found in a recently purchased used car. My brother used to work at a auto salvage yard and was always finding goodies.

I'm glad I finally took the time to stop and read a bit of this thread. My local flea market that I enjoy so much is indeed a "car boot sale" event. Moving forward I am sure I will be posting here. Just to be sure,, are yard sale finds appropriate for this thread too?

I forget who here has some of these, but I smiled and pounced when I noticed two Avon make-up racks at the thrift store this afternoon.

Nice! That looks pretty good for the job.

Just because it ain't a knife, tool, or diecast doesn't mean you can't use it.


I use Tupperware containers for basically everything but food and am always on the lookout for them. Older ones made in the US are always best. In addition, I also like to do my baking and cooking with older borosilcate (not the inferior modern soda-lime glass) Anchor Hocking Fire King and Pyrex bakeware. I have several different dishes (including some that are the milky white type instead of clear) and not a one has cost me more than a dollar.  Next time I go to Goodwill for diecast hunting, I need to actually pay attention to their glassware.

This morning's flea market haul,,, $40 spent

Quartz pocket watch $2. At the time of purchase the watch was not operational and the hour hand was loose and spinning around under the minute hand. This afternoon I opened it up and realized the second hand was off and stuck near the edge of the face. All hands have now been re-attached, a new battery installed and the watch is working great.

G Shock GA-140 $10 ,,,, Fully operational

Gruen quartz watch ,,,, $3 ,,,, currently not operational

Mandalorian decals for my daughter and I,,,, two for $5

Vice grips $5 ,,, needed for work,,, the only item I actually went looking for

Case 2104L $10

Gerber Mini $5 ,,, had to have it simply because it matched my full sized one

All in all, I think I did okay today.

I picked this up in an auction. It weighs right at 30 pounds.  I ‘m hoping to restore it to respectability.  Restoration on this scale isn’t usual my thing, but lately I’ve had a desire to give it a try.
